“When I was twelve, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report, “Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far,” and this was often the case.”― Oliver Sacks, On the Move: A Life
Here we are, finally, after a long cruel year at the beginning of the end of 2020. It’s been a year of change, chaos and a lot of uncertainty. Routines were thrown into disarray and business as usual was no more. With all of that, I still managed to get some things accomplished. There were many setbacks and mis-starts. But these are part of the creative process. We’ve got a few more weeks to knock some things out before the new year. Links, yes–here’s a few links as well.
